Took the tube out to Hammersmith to catch the latest concert stop of Tenacious D, the comic/musical duo headed by Jack Black. The venue was the Hammersmith Apollo (originally The Odeon), which had been the site of many, MANY classic rock shows throughout the years. Springsteen’s shows in 1975 and David Bowie’s last performance as Ziggy Stardust are just to name two.It was quite the entertaining show, but the one thing that stood out to me was just HOW much the crowd got into it. Maybe it was my seat or the smaller venue or the acoustics of the building, but you could hear the crowd sing EVERY single word with the band on EVERY single song.
Not that I was one of those or anything...
